| Genesis 34:14 | We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; which with us is unlawful and abominable. | Abominable. To be uncircumcised, was a reproach among the Hebrews. Yet there was no law forbidding to marry such. Laban was of this description, and the Chanaanites also; whose daughters the sons of Jacob themselves espoused, at least Juda and this very Simeon, as the Scripture assures us. |
